H is for Hookem-snivey

Hookem-snivey: to feign mortal sickness or disease in the streets to excite compassion. (see Egrote: to feign an illness to avoid work.)

 

 

 

Howling their loneliness. (source: https://howlingforjustice.wordpress.com/category/spiritual/)

 

I´ve been called cunning,

deceitful, if nothing else;

a fool to the world.

 

But I´m ill for real.

Ill from love, ill from the loss.

A world weary lord.

 

Apathy, fury.

I want to howl this pain out,

but the wind is deaf.
